The Brain Science of Performance
MANAGING EMOTIONS IN A COMPLEX WORLD

The current environment of complexity and uncertainty is exacting a great toll on many individuals - not just leaders. It is affecting performance, creativity and the critical connections between team members and it is even causing problems at home. It doesn't have to be this way!

While there are certainly unique challenges being faced today, there is also robust research that points a way forward. Data are clear that some individuals respond differently to stress and turbulence and this different way of responding has consequences - for themselves, their brains, their team, their organization and for their family.

In this program, which is targeted at non-leaders and leaders alike, participants will learn tools to manage their emotions more effectively in the midst of uncertainty and turbulence. They will learn how, under the pressure of change or difficult to manage relationships, they are at risk to fall into 'default behaviors', causing them to have impact that they don't intend. Among the many consequences are that they lose connection to key individuals or customers, allow conflicts to fester on a team - causing good people to shut down, become disengaged or leave - and impact their own ability to sustain best performance.
